Playing against Taraz in the Kazakh Premier League this weekend, Arshavin showed glimpses of old – culminating in this incredible solo goal.

After picking the ball up on the edge of the box, the 35-year-old roasts an opponent with a neat between-the-legs turn before displaying incredible agility to dupe two more players with a clever change of direction.

Spying the keeper off his line, the number 28 lifts an audacious chip over him and into the back of the empty net.

“A bit of old magic from Andrey Arshavin – talent never in doubt, unlike his desire,” said one viewer.
